It's bad enough that I have to endure seeing the new TV trailers ever 30 minutes; but the Pepsi promotions have started, and I have to look at Episode 2 propaganda all over my store.
Let us be united in frustration of time's passing. Join me in the virtual line. :D

^^^^^Hee hee....last night I was in a gas station and I saw the new Doritos bag with Queen Amidala on the front, and I started singing "Natalie Portman" by Ozma right in the store. Thank you for exposing me to that song, YAT!
And forget the vitrual line, I'll be standing in the real one with you soon enough!!! :D

I can't decide if the Star Wars or Rambo films are the worst movie franchise in history, both are bad on just so many levels...
I must be the only people in the world who still hasn't seen Episode one yet, but it's probably a matter of time, Geroge Lucas will eventually hunt everyone of us down...

I've felt a strange desire to consume Doritos and Taco Bell, go to Toys-R-Us, and drink an abnormal ammount of Pepsi lately. ;)

Harry Knowles of Ain't-It-Cool-News got an early screening of the film and pronounced it possibly the best of the series (yes, better than Empire).
I tend to trust Harry's judgement, as he is an incredible movie snob (he didn't like The Phantom Menace), so I'm pretty stoked for this.

I actually have a friend who has never seen a full Star Wars movie? She always falls asleep and finds them boring. Can you imagine??? Honestly!
I hope that Episode 2 stands up close to Empire as people are starting to say. We need a good evil movie. Phantom was sort of rated 'E'. Though it was incredible to sit in the theatre when the theme music came on for the first time after all of those years.

The force is now nothing more than Space Mitochondria!
I couldn't beleive he did this either! I think he may have done this 'cause those retard kids that he adopted couldn't grasp the philisophical approach and he wanted to appease them.

^^^^^^^
I don't really take the midiclorians to be an outright distillation of the Force into scientific terms... I think it was more of a plot device to be able to give a measurable designation that Anakin had TREMENDOUS possibilities as a Jedi (as Qui Gonn stated, he had levels "higher than Master Yoda's").
This also reflects the fact that there are physiological correspondences to some spiritual phenomena (the "God module" of the brain that becomes active during meditation or religious experience).

Wow, it sucks that yall have to wait in line to see it...Don't you know anyone who works at a movie theatre? Get them to buy your tix as soon as they go on sale. As for me, I have already seen it, and it is about 45 times better than Episode 1...

^^^ you silly, silly thing! Waiting in line is part of the experience! As a matter of fact, It's about the only time I can patiently, happily wait in a line.
There's 9 days left. You can cut the anticipation with an anticipation-cutter.
I'm surprised my boss let me have the 15th/16th off. I marked it down as a religious holiday :D

Re 12:01 am showing: Ah, so one of the theatres that's risking Lucas suing their ass off because he demanded that nobody show it before 10 am? (or so i've been told)
Re the midichlorians: That's just because it was a 1990s/2000 kind of thing, where the big thing is genetic engineering. In other decades it would have been radiation, or electric shock, or any other such implausible thing that made many a pulp comic-book superhero.

I missed a day. Hectic weekend.
So, four or five days, depending on what you consider "tomorrow". Technically, five.
*bounces with excitement*

this is not a spoiler - note - this is not a spoiler
having said that, the movie is great. it holds up to repeated watchings and there are actually things i was suprised about in the movie, whereas when watching episode one i thought everything would be clear cut.
i would explain this more but hey, then it would be a spoiler.
there were a couple things i was disappointed about but they are rather lame complaints. one of them is that yda was cg instead of a muppet, and like i said that was lame.
other complaints would be spoilers, so i will post them at 12:02 EST. :)
